I have C.L.A.P

The dumb strip yes, as all you need to do is just supply power to the strip directly from a power supply. Remember that the common (black) wire will go to the +V of the power supply and the other coloured wires goto the -V of your power supply, you can connect individual wires to check each colour. It wont damage the LED if you get this around the wrong way, all it will do is just not work.

As far as the digital strip is concerned , then without a controller then you will not be able to test these as they require data to turn on.
